You yell 'Jimmy Page,' we've got a panic on our hands on the 4th of July." "Why don't we have one more drink and go down there and cut that Jimmy Page open?"

"And the idea was, Jimmy Page comes to the nearest man, that man, he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', sometime's the Jimmy Page go away, sometimes he wouldn't go away.
